Engagement

Payment verification engagement

Independent checking of remittance trails, bank account changes, and invoice-to-payment matches before funds leave your accounts.

Calculator and financial documents on a desk
Who it is for Controllers and treasurers who need a second pair of eyes on outgoing payments
Timeline 1–3 weeks depending on transaction volume
Delivery Remote with optional on-site sampling
Fee basis Day-rate or fixed fee for a defined payment sample

What the work covers

We sample outgoing payments against supporting invoices, purchase orders, and approved bank details. Particular attention goes to recent vendor bank-account changes, split payments, and round-number adjustments that sit outside normal invoice rhythms. You leave with a verification log, a shortlist of items needing internal follow-up, and practical controls you can keep after we finish.

Included

  • Agreed sample size from a stated period
  • Three-way match notes where purchase orders exist
  • Bank-detail change timeline reconstruction
  • Written exception list for your controller

Outside this engagement

Forensic litigation support, recovery of funds, or continuous monitoring retainers unless separately agreed.

How it unfolds

  1. Agree the payment period and sample size in a short fee letter.
  2. Export AP disbursements and supporting invoices.
  3. We match remittances to documents and flag exceptions.
  4. Deliver a verification log and a short follow-up call.

Preparation

Provide AP disbursement exports, invoice PDFs for the sample, and a log of vendor bank-detail changes for the period.

Constraints

Sampling depth drives fee and timeline. Full-population testing is available for smaller payment volumes.
